Proper Method For Flossing

Flossing is a great way to remove plaque from between the teeth. It is an especially important tool for preventing periodontal disease and reaching difficult areas that your toothbrush can’t get. You should floss on a daily basis.

Use around 18 inches of floss. Wind most of it around the middle finger on both hands.

Use a gentle sawing motion when sliding the floss between your teeth. Move the floss in an up-and-down motion while holding it against the tooth.
